4th of July

How about Christmas in July....well the other way around . I'm posting July pics at Christmas time. During the 4th of July we went to Estes Park, Colorado with Shannon and family. We were able to take a ghost tour of the Stanley Hotel, the hotel Steven King stayed in when he got his ideas for The Shining.

We also did some hiking. One day Shannon, Ross, Shaun and I went on a 10 mile hike. Tiring but awesome.

A dead carcass we saw along the trail

We stopped for lunch and these birds came to try and get crumbs.

This was the waterfall a the top that we climbed. You can see some people on the right.

This view is from the top looking down.

This is what you find once you get over the waterfall.

On another day we took a much smaller flatter hike with the kids.

Kayden found himself a worm, that ended up going with us to the car. However I don't believe it was alive.

We found a little snow.

We saw this sign as we took a drive one day to the highest paved road in the U.S.
